Description
Pat Conroy’s acclaimed novel, The Prince of Tides, is a powerful Southern literary classic spanning forty years of family drama and emotional struggle. The novel follows Tom Wingo, his gifted and troubled twin sister Savannah, and their brother Luke as they confront the tragic legacy of their extraordinary family. Rich with honesty and drama, this bestselling American novel explores trauma, resilience, and family bonds.
Set against the vanishing beauty of the South Carolina Low Country and the dusty glitter of New York City, the story reflects on the Wingo children’s upbringing by an abusive shrimp boat operator father and a status-hungry mother. While much unfolds in New York, the heart of the novel remains rooted in the coastal Low Country, blending natural beauty with traumatic events that shaped their lives.
When published in 1986, The Prince of Tides received critical acclaim and became a bestseller. Paperback and always good to have on hand at the beach house as ranked # 26 of the 100 best beach books ever.
